What’s the “web protocol”? Are you talking about HTTP?

So, how the hell is this supposed to prevent bots? Unless Google are planning to completely lock the browser down to prevent user scripting and all extensions then surely you can still automate the browser?
I know but I really like the name wefwef so I’m presenting that’s not a thing ;)
Did I say it was a native dropdown? Nope. I said it was implemented as a separate window.
You can demonstrate that by trying to take a screenshot of the whole window when you have an open dropdown (cmd + shift + 4, then press space to select a window), and you'll see the contents of the dropdown aren't in the resulting screenshot (but are if you select an area or screenshot the whole screen).
Regardless, the fix is the same: use the inspector tab to navigate to the option element inside the select in the DOM itself, you can manipulate the elements there, although if you want to change the styling supported CSS styles are extremely limited. If you really want to control the appearance of a select element you're probably going to have to render them yourself.
You can access the option elements inside the select via the dom and style them there. In most browsers on a Mac (which that looks like?) those selects are actually implemented as separate windows - not even part of the browser, so you’re going to struggle to access them directly.
Idk, maybe. There are thousands of copyright infringement lawsuits, sometimes they win.
I don’t necessarily agree with how copyright law works, but that’s a different question. Doesn’t change the fact that sometimes you can successfully sue for copyright infringement if someone copies your stuff to make something new.
No but a lazy copy of someone else’s work might be copyright infringement.
I just don’t trust Brave very much. They’re doing ok now but eventually they’ve got to make some money. Their approach means they have to invest significant effort to porting fixes in chromium over to their forked version, and they can’t drop behind or they’ll have at least security issues. I’m not sure how sustainable it is.
Lemmy has some great mobile apps. I’m using https://wefwef.app now and it’s basically indistinguishable from Apollo.
That’s the first decent bit of PR from Reddit in a looong time.
You mean HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc?
